Wreckage from an EgyptAir plane that went missing last month during a flight from Paris to Cairo has been spotted.
In a statement released to ABC News, the Egyptian Aviation Ministry confirmed a search team and investigators on board are already deciding how to split up and search for the wreckage.
Investigators are now examining photographs taken of the wreckage from the seabed.
In a statement Sunday, investigators had said time was running out in the search for the black boxes, and that ship searching would intensify.
The two separate pieces of equipment-a cockpit voice recorder and a flight data recorder-is called a “black box”.
Analysts say human or technical error is also a possibility.
Debris has already been found around 180 miles north of Alexandria, Egypt.
This is different from what Egyptian Air Navigation said: EgyptAir had initially reported the plane was at a cruising altitude of 37,000 feet before it disappeared off the radar.
